Not really, the former can be just as dangerous as the latter

Makes sense. It's always a good idea to start with a cheap solution just to get comfortable. Then, if you decide to push things further and upgrade you'll be more informed about what hardware you might need.

What makes you think other servers aren't having similar problems?

(spoiler alert: they all are, lemmy is an immature platform)

No problem. Another really good option is to get something brand new like a ZimaBoard (don't bother with the 2GB of RAM version). It uses very little power and runs perfectly with CasaOS, which is a linux distro designed to make self-hosting dead simple. It will cost you more up front but will likely save you some money in the long run (after a couple years) because it uses less power.

Try this

Oh, looks like Lemmy is breaking it for some reason. I just searched eBay for "Dell SFF".

That's an antique. The list of stuff you want to run probably needs several gigabytes of RAM. I think Nextcloud alone needs 512MB. I'd recommend newer hardware, you can find stuff on ebay for under $100 that would be a LOT more powerful than what you have.

This one's pretty mild: I always answer my phone with "Yellow?"

Nobody has ever noticed or questioned me about it.

Ah right, I know a lot of apps that need to stay on constantly will use a notification to keep themselves awake, and it's usually not on by default because it'll murder your battery. I've had luck in the past using Flud rather than LibreTorrent, so you might try that. But my general advice would be to avoid using a phone for this; I'm guessing you'll run into similar issues with Flud.

Your edit makes sense, it would be possible to block all VPN traffic but just whitelist traffic from trusted IP addresses (like those in Russia). But I don't think we have enough info to say for sure that's what's happening.

It's called Expresso when it looks like that

I don't disagree. Hopefully the first option (lock in recent apps) is all you need to do, that one actually makes sense.

Here's an EXTENSIVE list of things you can do to keep an app from sleeping on a Samsung phone: https://dontkillmyapp.com/samsung

I didn't realize it was that bad. 🤣

Samsung phone? Settings > Battery > Battery > Background usage limits > Never sleeping apps. Add Libretorrent there.

If you're on another brand of phone, there might be a slightly different place that you need to look. It's annoying, but you often have to disable sleep in more than one place.

I'm saying that if a law isn't enforced, then breaking that law EFFECTIVELY is not illegal. Companies have been violating open source TOS for decades and nothing has happened. To make them stop, somebody would have to put up the money and lawyers to sue them and make them pay. But that hasn't happened yet, so the status quo will continue.

My point wasn't to say WhatsApp is good, my point is that there are a hundred alternatives that are better than SMS.

Claiming that Intel is not as shitty as Nvidia is pretty bold.

Against the terms of use? Yes. Illegal? Sort of, but practically not until somebody proves it in court.

To me, the article title is biased clickbait because it implies Intel is worse than the other GPU options. But Nvidia has been doing the same shit for years.

But I'm not the person you replied to.

Sure, but my point is that there are plenty of "standards" that already exist. We don't need a new one, we just need to use them.
